Camptodontus
Camptodontornis was a small, toothed bird that lived during the Early Cretaceous. It had strong jaws and curved teeth, which helped it catch and eat prey. This bird was an enantiornithine, a group of early birds that went extinct with the dinosaurs.2

Camptodontornis was originally named Camptodontus, but that name was already used for a beetle, so scientists had to give it a new name in 2019.1
This bird had a Y-shaped furcula, which is the wishbone that helps birds fly.2
Its teeth were strongly curved backward, which helped it hold onto slippery prey.2
Camptodontornis belongs to the family Longipterygidae, a group of early birds with long snouts.2
The only known fossil of Camptodontornis is a nearly complete skeleton found in the Jiufotang Formation of China.3
It lived about 121 to 113 million years ago, during the Aptian age of the Early Cretaceous.3

- Camptodontornis was first described in 2010 by Li Li and colleagues based on a skeleton from Liaoning, China. It was originally called Camptodontus, but that name was already taken by a beetle, so in 2019 it was renamed Camptodontornis.12

- Scientists are still debating exactly how Camptodontornis is related to other enantiornithine birds.2
